The day we’ve all been waiting for has finally come! It feels like only weeks ago we were strolling the streets of Downtown Rochester with Alicia & David to climb the roof top at the sunset and take some awesome engagement pictures. (Here’s a link if you wish to take a look). Alicia mentioned that January 11th is a special day for her & David since it marks their 12th year anniversary so it was easy for the couple to choose their wedding date! I arrived at Alicia & David’s lo

First wedding of 2020 was nothing short of amazing! Andrea & Brian were getting ready at the Staybridge Suites - a lovely riverfront hotel across the river from the Interfaith Chapel. We found a perfect spot for Andrea & Brian's first look - I got really excited when we walked out of the hotel and I saw the view! I have to admit I really like when couples choose to do the first look before the ceremony, since they get to spend a few minutes alone and that eases the tension &

We had the best time shooting the last wedding of 2019 and celebrating Todd & MaryAnn. The sweet couple had a lovely ceremony surrounded by family & closest friends. The newlyweds rented the gorgeous Rock Stream House close to Watkins Glen that was perfect for their celebration! The last day of November surprised us with sunshine and although it was rather cold we did manage to get some nice pictures outdoors. Everything about MaryAnn & Todd’s day was so elegant & tasteful -

We feel so fortunate to have been able to capture Bridget & Tyler's gorgeous wedding this weekend! We started at the Hyatt Regency hotel where the bridal party was getting ready and Genevieve was working her magic making sure the girls look absolutely stunning (and they did!). The bride found her (drop-dead gorgeous) dress at the Heart-to-Heart Bride & we couldn't take our eyes off her! Bridget & Tyler's day had a blend of Irish & Lithuanian traditions and there were a lot of

I spent a fun-filled afternoon with Diana & John taking their engagement pictures, talking & laughing. The couple chose to do some pictures at the Cure restaurant first since that's where they went on their first date. The best part was that they even got to seat in the same spot! I bet that brought all the memories back! I want to say a big "thank you!" to the lovely people who work at the Cure for letting us take the pictures and even letting me go behind the bar! Our next

This was my first time shooting at the Turning Point Park and it did not disappoint! We scheduled Clarissa & Alex’s engagement shoot for the golden hour and packed that 1.5 hours with so much action! The guys brought their adorable pups with them so that we could snap a couple of the cutest shots. After the doggos have been picked up by the couple’s friend we went back to the bridge and basked in the golden sun as the guys danced, ran, skipped, did some lifts, a dip and made

Jenna & Jon are the nicest people you'll ever meet - so pleasant & kind they make it so easy to work with them! I also loved that the guys were up for anything - lifts, dips, climbing the castle's staircase - everything was fun & easy for them! The rain held off for us to enjoy the beauty of the Sunken Gardens as we explored this magical place. It is amazing that a lot of people have never heard or been at the gardens. I myself living so close to the Highland Park only learne

I met with Sarah, Adam & Dominic for their engagement / family photo shoot and enjoyed working with them so much as this family is so kind & caring you just feel calm & happy around them. Sarah & Adam tied the knot last Saturday and it was truly a wonderful day! The couple had a religious ceremony at the Our Mother of Sorrows Church and oh, those stained glass windows and high ceilings! Breathtaking would be the right word for it! I also loved how how Sarah & Adam made their

It all Klicked with us past weekend when Lesia and Howard became Mr & Mrs Klick on a beautiful day that felt like the middle of summer! I was looking forward to this wedding ever since I did Lesia & Howard’s engagement photos at the Letchworth State Park - the guys were so sweet, caring and up for anything, we had a very good time hiking and taking pictures! The big day came before we knew it and Lesia looked like a movie star in her ball gown paired with rose gold accessorie

Saturday was an incredible day - Nadda & Joe got married and we were lucky to capture the union of this beautiful, kind, caring couple who made everyone feel welcome and at home. The ceremony was held at the Shadow Lake Golf club and it was so lovely and touching! Nadda put together a timeless look with her lace wedding dress and the veil while the groomsmen rocked the Tuxedo Junction suites. Nadda & Joe aka Tiny & Giant brought their bikes to the venue so that the guests cou

To say that I was excited to hear that Alicia & David wanted a city (roof top) engagement photos is an understatement! Naturally we set the time to meet right before the golden hour and strolled the streets of Rochester Downtown stopping by the Monroe County Office Building, Main Street Bridge and finally making our way to the roof top of one of the hotels. Alicia & David were basking in the setting sun as we walked around the edge finding more and more beautiful backdrops of

When I first met Kate & Jerry to do their engagement photos I knew their wedding would be like no other! Their big day was amazing & full of surprises! Starting with Kate's gorgeous pink gown, the cutest (but a bit nervous) llamas - yes, I did get to pet them! Both llamas seemingly preferred the company of Kate's daughter Isabelle - let her hold them and even gave her kisses! Another sweet surprise was the dessert table - probably the prettiest cupcakes I have ever seen! I al

What sounds more fun than a Christmas tree farm wedding?! Keymel’s Christmas Tree Farm was a place to be for Jessica & Jake’s wedding this weekend! The couple had their religious ceremony at the St Mary’s of The Lake church (its stained glass windows will make you stop in awe) and right after we proceeded to the tent with gorgeous greenery set up for the new Mr & Mrs Keymel. We had so much fun taking photos with the awesome and fun bridal party and oh, that retro car looked a

Genesee Country Village & Museum is a very unique venue with so many photo opportunities. That’s why I was really excited to hear that Leilani & Austin chose it for their ceremony and reception. The bride wore an elegant gown and a vintage veil paired with the cutest pink shoes - she looked so beautiful we couldn’t take our eyes off her! The ceremony was very sweet with Austin’s sister officiating and a lot of happy tears were shed. We had some time for pictures with the fami

Sunday was the day to remember! The sweet couple Jaclyn and Logan became Mr & Mrs Peck and we couldn't be happier for them. This beautiful couples has so much love and affection for each other. And their day had to be perfect. They chose a fantastic venue - the Webster Arboretum to get married in front of the gazebo that was decorated fresh flowers and leaves. And we had the best time walking around the gardens and enjoying so many great photo opportunities! I loved that Jacl

The sun has finally found its way to Rochester, NY and gifted us with a beautiful sunny afternoon perfect for Laura & Jimmy's engagement session. We walked around the park basking in the sunlight and taking photos with the blossoming trees and bushes. What followed was a location change -> Sunken gardens and an outfit change - the future bride donned another pretty dress in blue! Laura & Jimmy are such a delightful couple - they were so giggly, kind and easy-going it made my

Michelle & Zak live in Chicago but they chose Buffalo, NY for their big day and Templeton Landing as their venue. The couple had a lovely outside ceremony and we didn't know till the very end if the rain holds off for us but luckily it did! We even had some time for the outdoor photos with the waterfront and cityscape as our beautiful backdrops. Michelle looked like a princess in her beautiful gown as she danced the night away with Joe & Nicky with Diligent Loiter Entertainme

Last Friday I had a pleasure of documenting the wedding of a stunning couple - Sonja & Chaz. The couple had a religious ceremony at the Zion Hill Baptist Church that was decorated beautifully with the red rose petals & ribbons. I am pretty sure there was a collective "Ahhh!" when Sonja started walking down the aisle since she looked drop-dead gorgeous in her mermaid dress. The ceremony was very sweet and emotional with so much cheering after the couple has been pronounced Mr
